The french revolution was a period of far reaching social and political upheaval in france that lasted from 1789 until it ended on 1799 and was partially carried forward by napoleon during the later expansion of the french empire. During the revolution, french citizens razed and redsigned their country's political landscape, uprooting centuries-old institutions such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system. Like the american revolution before it, the french revolution was influenced by the enlightment ideals, particularly the concepts of popular sovereignty and inalienable rights. The most important causes of the French Revolution were the nation's debt, the refusal of the nobility and the clergy to pay taxes, egalitarian philosophies, and high food costs.  All these factors destabilized society and increased the political influence of the commoners.
